Laughing Stock...

That would be an amazing surprise, but unless we get a couple of excellent players 'over the line' then we have another woeful season ahead.

Maybe not a relegation scare, but certainly nothing to get excited about.

Probably.

 

Rep

 

Don't you just hate those people who say " I told you so "

 

Its not xmas

 

This.

 

Sorry I thought I said AROUND Xmas anyway keep it up "The North East needs you"

 

Thankyou kindly for your compliment.
Last time I looked at the calendar Christmas was a month away though?.
I bet you have had your decorations up for weeks eh fella?

 

No decorations it is 30 degrees here in Brisbane and it is melting all the snow

 

Don't want to spoil the party, but there is no Santa Claus, it's your mam and dad that come down the chimney and fill fill your sock.

 

Say it ain't so AB

 

That'll be the crap appointment of a cracking goal scorer and a fitness coach who seems to have a made a full squad available each week ?

 

Afraid so Bigi, just check the sooty footprints on Christmas morning and they'll lead straight to your mom and pops bedroom.

Some rep to soften the blow.

 

A long time ago even before Newcastle last won a league title Santa Claus preparing for Xmas morning he told all of the elves to have the reindeers all fed the sleigh loaded with the presents and ready to go at 5AM the next morning he told Mrs Claus to put up his bate and wake him at 4AM next morning he woke at 5oclock he came downstairs and the elves were still sleeping the sleigh was not loaded his bate was not ready and the reindeers were nowhere to be found just then a fairy walked past dragging a Xmas tree she said to Santa " What should I do with this Xmas tree" and that is why you now see a fairy at the top of the Xmas tree, proof positive that there is a Santa Claus

 

Very good point regarding the fitness coach.

Can't be just coincidence that we've had very few injuries compared to previous seasons. Anyone know if she's still with us or was it just a pre season thing?

 

I said this a bit back. We're the least injury prone team in the prem.
Between Carr and the new fitness guru we have a fairly decent backroom.

 

A business associate lives in Espoo, Finland and has a cabin up in Lapland. He confirmed santa is real so I believe.

 

Almost true. The Sami have been embroiled in a long standing battle with the Moomin hoardes. Santa in his stronghold in Utsjoki declared himself and his elves to be neutral. Fearful of pledging allegiance to the Moomins, the Sami stormed his cabin and it is largely believed that he was brutally murdered. His body was moved to an island in Lake Inari where it is guarded by a pack of hexed wolverines.

Complicated politics in Finland...

 

Moomins as per these bad boys?

The little red head is the only devious looking one.

 

Thats how they get ya, with their unassuming looks, and mild mannered nature.

Loved the Moomins.
